Both perspectives can be true...

Of all the things for which the current management can be criticised, an unwillingness to spend money is not one of them. It would not surprise me in the least if it cost $1.2million to refurbish that sign.

Yeah Bobbie would not have allowed the paintjob, Hell I am amazed that the Pan sign refurbishment happened, maybe thats why it took so long, he found out and wouldnt sign off for the paint :D

As I mentioned on the previous page, the new colour is actually quite close to what was originally planned for the building. I’m not sure if that’s by chance or by design, but I wouldn’t put it down to a newfangled taste for bold hues.

It seems that bold colors are happening in many places across the parks - not limited to specific locales. Subdued is "so last century". Not sure the wave has hit the Studios or Animal Kingdom yet, but my guess is that it's coming. Just wait till American Adventure is decked out in teal, orange, and purple.

once again, I'm reading forums threads about paint. what a time to be alive!

The natural weathering and aging process hopefully will (since you mention the castle) fade out the pink. As for Italy it looks just fine and will only improve with age just like quality vino.

I prefer the more rustic look over the new Disney Springs one. Is WS slated to follow in the footsteps of the MK and DL and get repainted in a brighter, more vivid, more cartoony colour palette? 🎨

And at that time there were those that said they painted it that awful purple-blue color because it would fade in time and then look good...lol While this building at least they could add some aging detail to it which would help, I don't believe the goal was ever to paint anything horribly garish knowing that in a few years it would look about right. not to say this is horrible garish...just a bit too dark...and flat next to the other buildings.

I think we saw this actually happen yes? The blue roof color on Cinderella's castle in WDW was repainted a iridescent blue then they repainted it again to a different blue.

This color discussion reminds me of all the shows on HGTV. Oh Karen, that gray clashes with the the robin blue I selected for the entry way. maybe a gray with a touch of lavender will help. And, you have the audience saying, No! that gray is perfect! You have no taste! :rolleyes:

It’s interesting to note that this new colour is closer to what was intended for the pavilion back in 1982: https://progresscityusa.com/2009/03/01/neverworlds-epcots-italy-pavilion-phase-ii/
